Thanks. Got a question on the application form. Whats' the depth you go in answering the below questions:

Do you have any family in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years? - should this include parents, grandparents and in laws?

Do you have any friends in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years? How many should we include?

Are you part of any social groups or do you have other cultural ties in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years? Not sure what to add here? If I select no, it asks "Explain why not - This could include reasons you or your family would not be able to integrate into any of these countries" Seems a bit dramatic

Provide minimal info. Those are NOT important at all

Thanks.

There's a question asking
Optionally, I will also provide the following documents as additional evidence:

A P60 for the relevant period(s) of employment relied upon

A signed contract of employment

If I am supplying all of the below already, do I still need to provide the "optional" above or not - I find this confusing as its either you require a document or you don't.

Payslips covering a period of 6 months prior to the date of application

A letter from the employer(s) who issued the payslips confirming
1. the employment;
2. the gross annual salary;
3. how long the employment has been/was held;
4. the period over which the person has been paid the level of salary stated in their application; and
5. the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency)

Personal bank statements corresponding to the same period(s) as the payslips showing that the salary has been paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly

A P60 for the relevant period(s) of employment relied upon

A signed contract of employment

These are not required.

Thanks. Am I right in thinking that the employment letter for SET(M) , the company doesn't need to stay that employee is required for the job going forward.

Also in terms of days spent outside the UK, they only ask about time spent over 2 weeks? Is there a max number one is allowed outside of the UK for this route

[CR001]

1. Correct. That specific sentence only refers to sponsor work visa applicants.

2. There is no absence limit.

Thanks.
For this application, does one need to scan all the passport pages ( stamped or blank) of passport.

Also is family consent form required in addition to family declaration form

Where does it ask for the consent form as in my application it only talks about partner declaration ( link is this - https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... ration.pdf)

Thanks, but where in the application does it ask for this? I ask because I reached the payment stage and this has not been asked.

[zimba]

All applicants need to submit this as part of the documents after submission, whether asked or not

So if I hadn't been on this forum, I wouldn't have known about this form? Surely if required it should be mentioned in the application form or documents required. I just want to know if I am missing something here

UKVCAS probably reviews this on your appointment day and UKVI will ask for it if missing. It is not a big deal. Do not lose yourself

There is no specific requirement. It should be good

[bookerw100]

There is no specific requirement. It should be good

It did say requirement of 6 letters to be provided in the name of both or double if individual - spread evenly over 2.5 years which is what I have tried to do. So every 3 months or so from October'23 working backwards. just thought will run it past here.

This has been covered many many times before. The cohabitation evidentiary requirement does not even exist under the immigration rules. There is simply a requirement that your relationship must be subsisting. The document list gives you some ideas on what UKVI would need to see to view that your relationship is subsisting. That is what is referred to as cohabitation evidence but it is not an official requirement, so you provide whatever you have

okay thanks!
Another question - does the applicant and spouse need to scan stamped and blank passport pages?

[zimba]

No. There is no absence limit under family routes

is that right? I thought that's not required for Set(M) where did you upload?

[zimba]

It is not required. Just because someone got ILR does not mean you have to upload blank pages of your passport or this is required. The immigration system is not experience-based. You need to satisfy the requirements under the rules
